Janis's groupthink theory is an appealing explanation of how group process can get in the way of optimal decision making. Unfortunately, Janis was selective and not always consistent in his application of research in group dynamics. This paper traces groupthink to its theoretical roots in order to suggest how a broader and more consistent use of research in group dynamics can advance understanding of decision-making problems. In particular, the paper explores and reinterprets the groupthink prediction that poor decision making is most likely when group cohesion is based on the personal attractiveness of group members.

贾尼斯的群体思维理论对群体过程如何阻碍最优决策做出了一种有吸引力的解释。不幸的是，贾尼斯在应用群体动力学研究时具有选择性，且并非总是保持一致。本文追溯群体思维的理论根源，以提出如何更广泛、更一致地运用群体动力学研究来推进对决策问题的理解。特别是，本文探讨并重新诠释了群体思维的预测，即当群体凝聚力基于成员的个人吸引力时，做出糟糕决策的可能性最大。版权所有1998年学术出版社。
